VS2005 takes a long time to render
sql server reporting services:
Hi, Hopefully someone with a bit of experience with Visual Studio 2005 and RS can offer some advice. I am using VS2005, sourcing a SQL2K database (but deploying to a SQL2k5 RS), and am simply trying to do a select of about 800 records from one table (ie no joins). The report has only one grouping field - and in essence is overly simplistic just to try and understand where my issue is. When trying to preview the report, it seems to take for ever - the hard disk starts flogging away, and processor usage increases - to the point where i eventually stop the rendering of the report (have waited in excess of 15 minutes!!!). I have managed to get results back if I restrict the results of the query to one line - or even to 200 lines (however this takes about 5min). Each time the hard disk goes nuts and processor usage increases. Any ideas what is happening here? Is it a configuration setting that I am overlooking, or something more sinister? The report runs fine once it is deployed to the RS - so it is just something with VS2005 - but what? Thanks in advance for any assistance on this. Troy
Thanks Bruce - well that is what I figured also, but I can't believe that returning even a small subset of data would blow out all my RAM and start swapping out. I have 512MB - which I know is pretty marginal in terms of a dev machine, however in terms of dev with VS, reporting is all it is used for. I take it then that there is no other setting which might cause this - ie if it is pulling all the results of the table to the local machine and then querying it - or something dumb like that?

Hi Bruce, Just installed another 512 - so was sitting at 1gig total, and same scenario.... Went into RS while waiting for the preview to render and raised the same report - result back in 3 seconds..... I am well lost now..... Any thoughts?

How much memory does your development machine have. Seems to me like you have run out of RAM and you are thrashing (swapping out to disk). I develop in 2005 and so far have never seen this.

Might try a reinstall and see whether shuffles anything around Thanks for the thoughts though!

The preview tab is using the same code as the render for the server. Visual Studio itself is pretty big. I bet if you even put in another 256 it would make a big difference. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services [quoted text, click to view] "Troy" <Troy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1DD492E2-DD58-4AA1-A648-F14BB71C796B@microsoft.com... > Thanks Bruce - well that is what I figured also, but I can't believe that > returning even a small subset of data would blow out all my RAM and start > swapping out. > I have 512MB - which I know is pretty marginal in terms of a dev machine, > however in terms of dev with VS, reporting is all it is used for. > I take it then that there is no other setting which might cause this - ie > if > it is pulling all the results of the table to the local machine and then > querying it - or something dumb like that? > > "Bruce L-C [MVP]" wrote: > >> How much memory does your development machine have.

Isn't that just like reality to get in the way of a good theory. Very weird. Sorry. I am out of ideas.

I would try starting performance monitor and check what the bottleneck is, swap/RAM - CPU - or DISK I/O And when you know which one is the problem, i would try to find the process which is responsible.. // Ronny [quoted text, click to view] "Troy" <Troy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9267E59E-F019-45E4-BB71-8F9BB01056CB@microsoft.com... > Might try a reinstall and see whether shuffles anything around > Thanks for the thoughts though! > If anyone else has any other ideas - please let me know > > "Bruce L-C [MVP]" wrote: > >> Isn't that just like reality to get in the way of a good theory.
